Sharpton has also been such a force with New York’s mayor, Bill de
Blasio, in the furor over the chokehold death of a black Staten Island
man that The New York Post declared The Rev the de facto police
commissioner. The White House and City Hall do not seem concerned about
his $4.7 million in outstanding debt and liens in federal and state tax
records, reported by The Post. Once civil rights leaders drew their
power from their unimpeachable moral authority. Now, being a civil
rights leader can be just another career move, a good brand.
